Have to bump this cos I think it went under the radar for most of you :P

Yeah, our servers will typically quiet down around 00:30-01:00. Most times from around 17:00 to 00:00 server 1's full, weekdays considered.

We're gathering in Elektro for some proper PvP tonight. Anyone wanna join us? :)

Sorry for the screaming, I genuinely thought I was going to die.

My passenger was very convincing. :P No trouble at all. The zombies were stuck under the truck so just punched them out. Was starving, went about 500 meters down the road and died next to an apple tree.

Ah Sobieski, always love your videos. Keep em coming.

Any feedback is highly appreciated. Thanks. :)

The prequel to this;

Cheers for the likes and beans, guys! It's certainly challenging getting views on these things, so any feedback is dearly appreciated. Cheers, Sinnanman

We changed our server #2 to hardcore (3PP off), and left the vote up to you; share a shard with server 1 or get a whole new master shard? The vote is on at lotlclan.com. Cheers, Sinnaman

You need this; <loop>-1</loop>for an infinite repeating command. Using "1" will only run it twice.

Sounds to me like one or more GSPs aren't doing their job properly.

The wednesday maintenance does (for the time being) wipe all persistence data, meaning any trucks, tents, backpacks left around the world, and resets the loot spawns.

Server #3 is on the horizon! Stay tuned, folks. Sinnaman

Hey guys, as a server owner administering a popular private shard server, we tend to get crashes every night, pretty much every hour if the server is proper packed. Most of you know these crashes as the inability to open doors, change weapons or do anything in game, along with your fellow travel companions seemingly running in place, or the infamous "No message received". What I've been trying to figure out is the exact reason for these crashes, and the theory that is backed up the most is the following; When the server is full and people keep spam-joining the server waiting for slots (basically attempts at joining repeatedly when there are no slots available), we think there may be instances where a slot will open up, the server will accidentally let in two players at the same time (because they clicked join at the exact same second), and the server will freeze up or crash. We've been considering setting BEC to kick any player beyond 48/50 to see if this helps solve the problem, but before we go this far we'd like to get other server admins thoughts on the cause of these crashes. Are we completely off track here, or is this possibly a viable solution until BI fix the server infrastructure and implement queuing and the like? All opinions welcome on this, thanks for your help guys. Sinnaman

We are also with Fragnet, and we have several times considered switching to a different GSP. However, after talking with owners of several other servers and hearing how their GSP works, we decided that Fragnet offers the best service for our needs. Tickets are answered quickly on a general basis, the setup of the server after ordering took merely moments, and we even got a 15% discount through DayZIntel. To put it to you straight; Fragnet are not excellent, they're just better than the rest, and I guess that will have to do. If public servers are meant to have server logs, they will be available yes.

Sunday Funday! Come do some proper PvP today in all the major cities. What have you been gearing up for this week anyway? Stop by our TS3 for challenges. Cheers, Sinnaman

Sounds strange to me. Personally I steer clear of Multiplay on a general basis, don't like having to pay extra in order to have a server name that doesn't start with "Multiplay".. They are only cheapest until you add the extra charges they want for normal service.

But you yourself can connect just fine?

Is this the case for most players that come to your server - that they stay connected for less than a minute?

Hmm, we don't seem to be seeing the same issues then. Our server is usually back up within a minute of our manual restarting the server (longer if the scheduled one kicks in), and we are seeing less and less hangups. We are seeing more temporal hangups though, where the server will appear frozen for a few moments (up to half a minute) before returning to its normal state. Could be the difference between public/private hives?

So, decided to have a go at this YT-thing. Please let me know your opinion? :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gThhy3HYEqE Cheers, Sinnaman

I'm guessing you could just ask your GSP to reinstall your master server. Not sure, but I believe that would create a new shard? Or GSP may have to contact BI, open a ticket about it.

We never restart using RCON as it tends to create more problems than it fixes. Always have CP open and the logs from there in addition to DaRT. We had a full afternoon of 50 players, no crash, but then later in the night, at around 23:00 we froze with 25-30 players on. No two players with hourglasses, so literally have no idea what's causing it now.
